We're Loving It.Go Large!

Diagram of a Neuropeptide. Is it me or does it look like a sperm?

It's official. Good Sex is good for you. A new study has shown that the neuropeptide, oxytocin - often dubbed the love or cuddle drug, can help to solve Anorexia Nervosa. Let me say that I have had issues with this problem in my family. It is an insidious and deep rooted struggle. It is an assault course of conflict, tears and constant vigilance. It breaks down trust and interpersonal values of openness. It is an issue of self esteem, peer pressure and an idealized image of perfection peddled by people who should know better. There is no cure in my view. You cannot cure a society of what it is. One's best hope is to survive the different evolutions of society. As a Romance writer I take my share of the blame for creating beautiful heroines (never under size 12) and rugged ridged six packed heroes.If indeed we are all helpless supplicants at the shrine of Endocrine - well, there it is! So be it! Relax, light a candle,sobwith passion through the Requiem for perfect earthly beauty. A careless finger trace of wind on a field of wheat was always gonna out-gun you anyway. Push the love sauce button and enjoy. Bon apetit and a big love cuddle to all those who ask for more - and more and more.......I'm loving it.
